‘Guardian vs Warrior Cops’ in McKinney, TX and Beyond

– SPUTNIKNEWS.COM, JUNE 10 2015, FEAT. PROF. SETH STOUGHTON:

On today’s BradCast, I was joined by Seth Stoughton, former cop and now asst. professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law, to discuss the “Guardian v. Warrior” cop mentality as displayed in this past weekend’s viral video of a pool party gone bad in suburban McKinney, TX.

Stoughton, who teaches criminal law and police regulation, analyzed the video for Talking Points Memo and explained what lessons might be learned from both the behavior of the helpful (“guardian”) cops seen in the video and the other (“warrior”) cop mentality as displayed by McKinney Officer Eric Casebolt who is seen inappropriately roughing up and threatening a number of African-American teens during the incident.
